Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax on Willie Mays, the Hall of Fame center fielder who competes against Koufax from 1955-66:

“I can’t believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can’t believe he could run as well as Mays, and I can’t believe he was any better an outfielder.”
